Jordy Nelson Knee Surgery

That was a different situation because training camp was brutal to get the players in shape. There was no offseason training program. Maybe the issue is the offseason training program. The one season recently where the Packers didn't have big injury problems was following the 2010 season where there was no offseason training program or OTA's because of the lockout.

That was also pre-PED. A lot of the non-contact injuries may be the result of overdeveloped muscles.

Jones had an illness.

If its food poisoning then I suspect Bear's fans are posing as restauranteurs in greater Green Bay.

Would be interesting to see the numbers on it.

If I recall, in 2011 they lost Collins forever with the "freak" neck injury, Alex Green with a knee, Quarless with a knee, Sherrod with the leg, and Tramon Williams with that never healing shoulder problem. That's quite a hit to take for any team. I agree that the players now, for the most part, have that off season workout program but at least for the Packers, it's not cutting down on the injuries.

Those were the big ones but the team had far fewer missed games from starters than in 2010 and 2012. The problem was defense in general and Collins in particular.

And you have to look at injuries differently. Collins' had nothing to do with the shape he was in, conditioning, turf he was playing on, etc. Same with Sherrod - reality is, 300lb guy moving at speed rolls up your leg, it breaks.

It's the plethora of soft tissue strains, tears and rips that are interesting.

Did we mention that Randall Cobb left practice with an ice bag in his arm/shoulder?

I was hoping Alex Gillette would make the final roster. Now with all the injuries to the receiving corps, Gillette might start.
